The legend HANSA COG appears on a banner scroll at the top of the design, and the inscription 14TH CENTURY is displayed on a ribbon scroll at the base. The denomination $20 is inscribed in the upper right field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Hansa Cog was the workhorse of the medieval Baltic trade network, and the Hanseatic League's commercial dominance from the 12th through 15th centuries depended almost entirely on this vessel type. The British Virgin Islands issued this piece as part of a broader commemorative program targeting the collector market — the territory has no historical connection to the Hanseatic trade routes whatsoever.
KM#260 is one of dozens of thematic silver issues the BVI produced around the millennium, most licensed through external distributors rather than driven by any local monetary need.
